    <h2>Adding Metadata</h2>
    
    <p>You can also include basic Dublin Core Metadata in the XML exchange file.</p>
    <p>Each model can be further described by the use of Metadata. This constitutes an optional set of elements that can be used to describe the model itself. The use of metadata to further describe a model can be useful to assert such things as publisher, rights and usage, copyright, and licensing. The Dublin Core Metadata Element Set consists of 15 metadata elements:</p>

    <table>
      <tr valign="top">
        <td><strong>Title</strong></td>
        <td>A name given to the resource.</td>
      </tr>
      <tr valign="top">
        <td><strong>Creator</strong></td>
        <td>An entity primarily responsible for making the resource.</td>
      </tr>
      <tr valign="top">
        <td><strong>Subject</strong></td>
        <td>The topic of the resource.</td>
      </tr>
      <tr valign="top">

      <tr valign="top">
